As Friday comes to a close, and the month of May wraps up, we wanted to take a moment to reflect back on the great month that we’ve had. We started off strong with a great Cinco De Mayo celebration and “First Friday” music class featuring some of the music industries biggest “Divos” (Cough Cough MJ, KANYE, BEIBER, BOWIE, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE)

— To those of you wondering what the **** a “Divo” is ..we will leave you with this spot-on definition from UrbanDictionary- LOL

With some Cinco decor hanging and good vibes flowing you could definitely say there was a”party in the hot room”

Another awesome perk of May was getting another Posture of the month!! Woot-Woot! There is nothing better than having a whole month to grow and focus on a different posture.

MAY P-O-M

Head to Knee with Stretching Pose has some great benefits to keep you looking and feeling great 🙂

Here are a few:

Helps balance blood sugar levels

Improves kidney function

Improves digestion

Improves the flexibility of sciatic nerves, ankles, and hip joints

Strengthens and firms back, abdomen and arms

Reduces symptoms of asthma

Deep hamstring stretch

We also had a great back bending clinic this month with former BYP teacher, Louise Giordani aka “Weezy”

The clinic gave students some great techniques and expanded on

How to recognize places of spinal mobility and restrictions

How to maximize the range of motion in your total spine

Now that our backs are feeling amazing~ we can’t wait to dive into next month’s posture **SPOILER ALERT** it’s the Spine twisting pose!!!

As I take a sip from my water bottle I’m reminded that this month we have new water at the studio and guess what?? We are pretty stoked! Not only is Tourmaline great tasting bottled water, but it’s the only gravity-fed water bottling facility and to top it off the company creates no boreholes in the aquifer, taking only water that naturally bubbles up from the spring— How cool is that!
